How switching to LRQA's remote inspection brought benefits for an oil and gas supplier.
Remote inspection technology means businesses across the world have been able to continue with their inspection programmes despite travel restrictions and social distancing requirements. On example is Italian supplier to the oil and gas industry, PetrolValves which was able to maintain its inspection schedule during the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.
"With the challenges presented by the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, it wasn’t possible for an external inspector to access the plant, so we decided to use remote inspection services. With LRQA directing us through the process, we recorded the inspection on-site in the morning, with our Italian inspection team witnessing remotely,” said David Dinelli Raimander, Quality Assurance Manager at PetrolValves.
We found the biggest advantages were that multiple sites could connect easily with LRQA, which improved efficiency.
“The inspection itself was easy to carry out. Due to the mobile technology, it was less intrusive. You can see where someone is streaming from as the technology shows their specific coordinates. It’s the first time we have used remote inspection technology and we were delighted with the results. We’ll definitely be using it again."
